Is there a way to import a RAM steel file into Revit Architecture?  I'm finding solutions for Revit Structure but not Architecture.  With RAM, the export options are .asa (for rebar), .stp (CIS/2) or .dxf.  I've also got the option of RAM Cadstudio which uses the RAM .rss file to create a 3D .dwg (with ObjectARX).  The purpose of the import is just to use as a background for the architect in Revit.  There does not need to be any two-way integration, I'd be happy with just the graphics for now.  I don't have the benefit of Revit, the architect doesn't have Revit Structural and we've never attempted this before.  The CADstudio file sounded promising but creates a "file too large" error and will not import into Revit Arch.  I'm guessing either this import is not possible, or there are user errors at some point.  Anyone have success with this?

Revit can import DXF and DWG files.  Have you tried exporting from RAM using either of these?

 

You may also want to try Deep Exploration by Right Hemisphere (free trial download) to see if you can clean up the DWG  before importing into Revit.  This may or may not help but is always worth a try, right?!

 

HTH and goodluck.  Let us know what happens.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
